Since being ladled up in my GP medical notes last week as an active alcoholic and long term alcohol abuser which really is not the case I have had a very difficult week to manage my thoughts in my own head. I’m sure to many people this is nothing but because of the way I have been treated by the medical profession over the last 10 years or so as well as a life time of being put down by people in authority this has been very triggering.
I’ll be the first to admit that I have many problems in my life but drugs and alcohol abuse have never been one of them. And I hope they never will.
Tonight, I have received a phone call from one of the partners at the practice who has been assigned to look into my case and he has confirmed that a mistake was made and this mistake has now been corrected. This means all notes referring to alcohol abuse have been removed and a letter to say sorry and confirm the corrections have been made is going to be prepared and sent to me over the next few days.
I really wish this could have been sorted out quickly on Monday morning with nothing more than a phone call but the practice turned it into a major complaint, not me.
